How do I get my child to stop hitting and/or pushing others? And how do I get her to apologize?

You need to be more stern with her.Letting her know that it hurts others when she hits also helps.When my children are little as soon as they hit,from the first time,I pretend to cry.Children need to understand the consequences of their actions.My children don't hit because we don't want others to hit us.

As far as apoligizing.....she has to want to,you can't force her.when she reolizes she hurts people when she hits them and apologizing is the right thing to do she will start doing it,when reminded.They still need reminded.How old is she though?
